Make Committee Assignments Realistic

     When committees meet, the diversely talented group often gets fired up with enthusiasm, adopting a “we can accomplish anything” philosophy.

     While this attitude generates a lot of motivation and excitement (which are both necessary for committee success), keep this attitude in check.

      The reality is, committee members must go back to their jobs, their families and their day-to-day responsibilities. Enthusiasm might wane in the face of personal and professional commitments.

     The lesson: Temper “in-the-moment” enthusiasm with a dose of reality by making committee assignments realistic and do-able.
